Visit family or friends in Poland for stays up to 365 days.
The D-02 National Visa allows non-EU nationals to stay with family and friends in Poland for up to 365 days. It requires a formal invitation from a Polish host, accommodation proof, travel medical insurance (€30,000 minimum), and financial means. Processing takes 15 working days from payment, extending to 30 days if documents require examination. The €135 fee is submitted via e-konsulat.
The visa permits year-long stay and Schengen travel but does not authorize work. Spouses cannot work; dependents are allowed. A valid passport (3+ months validity) and signed host invitation are required. The applicant must maintain sufficient finances throughout their stay.
This visa is ideal for family members, close friends, or partners seeking extended time in Poland to maintain relationships, provide care, or attend significant life events, with stable financial means.
